[A]Got outta town 
on a b[G]oat going 
to southern[D]islands
[A]Sailing a reach 
bef[G]ore a following s[D]ea
[A]She was making 
for the t[G]rades 
on the out[D]side
[A]And the downhill 
[G]run to Papee[D]te
[A]Off this wind 
on this hea[G]ding 
lie the Marqu[D]eses
[A]We got eighty feet 
of the wate[G]rline 
nic[D]ely m[Bm]aking w[A]ay
[A]In a noisy bar 
in Aval[G]on 
I tried to call [D]you
[A]But on a midnight 
watch I [G]realized 
why tw[D]ice you[Bm]
ran aw[A]ay

Think[A]about
Th[G]ink about 
how ma[D]ny times 
I [G]have fall[A]en
Sp[G]irits are using [D]me
larger v[G]oices cal[A]ling
Wh[G]at heaven brought 
y[D]ou and me 
c[G]annot be for[A]gotten

I[D] have been arou[G]nd 
the wor[A]ld
L[D]ooking for that 
[G]woman gir[A]l
Wh[D]o knows love 
ca[G]n endur[A]e
[A]And you know it will[G][D]
[A]And you know it will [G][D]

Wh[A]en you see the 
Southern [G]Cross 
for the first [D]time
Yo[A]u understand 
now wh[G]y you came 
this [D]way
C[A]ause the truth you 
might be[G] runnin from 
is so [D]small
B[A]ut it's  as big as 
the pro[G]mise
The pr[D]omise of a 
co[Bm]ming da[A]y

So[A] I'm sailing 
for tommorro[G]w
my dreams are a dy[D]ing
An[A]d my love 
is an anc[G]hor tied to you[D]
T[A]ied with a silver chain[G]
I have my ship 
nd[D]all her flags are a flying
S[A]he is all that I have le[G]ft
And mu[D]sic is her na[Bm]me [A]

Think[A]about
Th[G]ink about 
how ma[D]ny times 
I [G]have fall[A]en
Sp[G]irits are using [D]me
larger v[G]oices cal[A]ling
Wh[G]at heaven brought 
y[D]ou and me 
c[G]annot be for[A]gotten

I[D] have been arou[G]nd 
the wor[A]ld
L[D]ooking for that 
[G]woman gir[A]l
W[D]ho knows love 
c[G]an endu[A]re
[A]And you know it will[G][D]
[A]And you know it will [G][D]

So[A] we cheated and we lied 
[G]and we tested[D]
An[A]d we never failed 
t[G]o fai[D]l
I[A]t was the easiest 
th[G]ing to [D]do
Y[A]ou will survive
bei[G]ng best[D]ed
S[A]omebody fine will 
come a[G]long
Make m[D]e forget 
abou[Bm]t lovin[A]g you
